JOSEPH DAOUST, OF DETROIT, 1VIICHIGAN. Y

DEVICE FOR LOOKING UNDER WATER.

Application filed May 21, 1925. 'Seria1 110. 31,772 i To all whom it. may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrn DAOUST, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Detroit, county of \Vayne, and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Device for Looking Under Water, of which the following is a specification, reference bemg had to the accompanying drawings.

It is the primary object of my invention to provide a perisoopio device whereby one can plainly see under water at various depths and in a number of different directions.

It is a further object of my invention to provide an under-water reflector that is protected from foreign matter and water pressure by a glass casement and also guard wires.

Another object of my invention is to prvide my device with electric lights so that the under-water elements can be plainly seen from a point above the water.

lVith the above and other objects in view,

' my invention consists in the arrangement,

combination and construction of the various parts of my improved device as described in the specification, claimed ln'my claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in

which: I

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved device, shown partly in section. V

Fig. 2 is a slde view of the same shown partly in section.

I have shown a pipe 10 into which are placed the wires 11 that have their ends extending out from both ends of the said pipe 10. Fastened to one end of the wires 11, by means of the clips 12 is the mirror 13, and secured to the other end of the wires 11, by means ofthe clips 14, is the disk 15 that has the centrally located aperture 16.

A metal casing 17 having the flanged end 18 is secured to the end of thefpipe 10.. Fastened to the flange 18, by means of a prising a plpe, a glass globe, means, for serubber washer 19 and the bolts 21 and nuts 20, is the glass globe 22. Heavy guard strips 23, having the cross strip 30, are placed around the globe 22 and secured to the easing 17. A socket 24 is secured to the bottom of the globe 22 and a ball pin 25 that is fastened to the center of the mirror 13 is placed in said socket so that the mirror is pivoted by .a ball and socket joint; thus allowing it to be moved at diiferent angles. Electric lights 26 are placed above and around the mirror 13, by securing a hanger 27 to the at the e 17: Th Wa it e? for these lights is supplied by the conduit 28. Weights 31 are placed around the pipe 11 to aid in lowering'the device and to ofiset movement by'the current. In the practical use of my improved device, the mirror may be placedunder water at various depths bymeans ofthe pipe 10,

and then the lights13 turned on. To focus the mirror atthe angle or direction desired, the disk 15 is moved, which in turn moves the mirror that is pivoted on the ball and socket oint through the aid ofthe wires-1 1 in the same direction or at the same angle asthe disk; Thus, by looking through the aperture 16 one can perceive the reflections of the mirror 13. For great depths magnitying lenses, properly adjustable, may be used,- either connected directly with the aperture 16 or as a separateelement.

The strips 23, 24, thecasing 17 and the glass globe 22 prevent foreign matter from collecting-around the mirror.

It is obvious that various changes, may be made in the arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts of my'improved device without departing from the spirit of my invention and itis my intention tocover by my claims such changes'as may thereot.

lVhat I claim is: 1. In a device of the class described combe reasonably included within the scope prising a pipe, an encasementsecured to one end of said pipe, wires extending through and projecting from both endsof the pipe a mirror, meansv for pivoting said mirror in, V l

the bottom of said encasement, a disk secured to one end ofsaid wires and-said mirror secured to the other'ends thereof so that movement of the'disk will cause a-simi-- lar movement of themirror and guard wires placed around said encasement;

'2. In a device of-the class described comcuring said globe to said pipe, a mirror, a

ball and socket joint pivoting said mirror in the bottom of, the globe, a disk, means connecting said disk and said .mirror whereby movement of the disk will cause a similar movement of the mirror, ilights positioned above, and around said mirror, guard wires protecting said glass globe and'a centrally reflected in said mirror can be seen through said aperture,
